CLIENT CONTEXT

A growing logistics and distribution company was facing an increasingly demanding year-end closing cycle, characterised by high transaction volumes, the need for technical rigour and strict adherence to accounting and tax deadlines. The company recognised the importance of improving the quality of its financial information, ensuring the reliability of reconciliations and achieving an efficient, controlled year-end closing process aligned with best practices.

CLIENT CHALLENGE

The year-end closing process presented significant challenges, including the need to review accounting records, reconcile critical accounts, calculate taxes and prepare financial statements within tight deadlines. The company also required specialist technical support to mitigate error risks, ensure tax compliance and respond adequately to audit requirements. In parallel, there was a need to design a management control model to monitor financial performance throughout the following financial year.

THE ID SERVIÇOS SOLUTION

The engagement began with direct support for the 2025 year-end closing process, including the review of accounting records, reconciliation of key accounts — Banks, Cash, Clients, Suppliers, State, Personnel and others — and support for tax calculation and verification of applicable tax obligations. Financial statements and supporting schedules were prepared and validated, ensuring delivery of both provisional and final closings within the established deadlines. The work also included technical accompaniment through to the submission of the definitive accounts to shareholders. In parallel, a quarterly management control reporting model was designed to track performance trends, assess the impact of investments and identify deviations.

BUSINESS IMPACT

The company gained a more rigorous, predictable and technically robust year-end closing process, reducing error risk and improving the reliability of financial information. Reconciliations and financial statements were produced with greater consistency, strengthening confidence among management and auditors. The management control model provided clearer insight into financial performance, greater anticipation capacity and more informed decision-making.
